Iga Swiatek vs Liudmila Samsonova prediction from SBR's Gary Pearson for their Wimbledon quarterfinal match on Wednesday, July 9th:
Pick to win: Iga Swiatek 2-0 (-115 via DraftKings)
The odds for Swiatek to win 2-0 suggest our best sports betting apps believe in Samsonova's chances of winning at least a set. Her implied probability of doing so is 54.55%.
I'm not of the same school of thought, though.
Yes, Samsonova, with her powerful game and strong serve, can cause Swiatek some trouble. However, she hasn't done so in their last four meetings, with Swiatek winning each in straight sets.
Samsonova has been excellent at the tournament, not dropping a set in four matches. Then again, the only seeded player she faced is no. 16 Daria Kasatkina, and she hasn't advanced past the fourth round in 20 majors."
Best prop bet: Liudmila Samsonova Under 10.5 games (-120 via BetMGM)
"BetMGM and bet365 set the total at 10.5 games, while DraftKings and FanDuel have it at 9.5 games.
The 10.5-game total allows a critical buffer, as Swiatek can win in a tiebreak and still hit the Over so long as it's a straight-sets victory. A 7-6, 6-4 triumph would do the trick.
Based on their recent history, in which Samsonova hasn't won more than two games in the last eight sets, I'm confident backing the Under.
There's also Swiatek's sky-high motivation to consider, as the Wimbledon championship has thus far eluded her. BetMGM offers a marginally better price than bet365 (-125)."
